There is a commmercial but is is not on much. There is a print ad with Serena in the long blonde 2001 US Open hair and the red dress on a tennis court in dark light with a lot of tennis balls.
I think puma markets Serena more out of the USA where their stuff is selling more ie the french open cameroon outfit.

Because her contract IS coming up. Anything they do will only increase her popularity, and the amount it will cost to keep her. You know Phil Knight already called.

Proud to be an AmericanNot blind. Not uninformed. We are party to atrocities. But the response of the world after 9/11 is worth noting. Even our most dire enemies offered aid. We should all be so lucky.

That's what I was thinking that her contract must be coming up for renewal. Puma might not be able to afford her. Phil Knight might be the only one who could really afford her and he needs a high profile American woman. I'm almost sure Reebok cannot afford both Venus and Serena.

Besides that, Serena got some negative feedback from America when she wore that Cameroon outfit at the French. People wanted to know why she was rooting for them when America was playing also. It wasn't a good move on her part and she should think twice about re-signing with a mainly European company like Puma.

serena can always become an european citizen(dutch by example), we will welcome her with open arms

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of the truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

Can't she root for whoever she wants? I mean honestly is that how petty the American public are? Why should she think twice about re-signing with a mainly European company? What the Americans won't like her anymore because of that? I really really hope Serena will sign with Puma again. Or Adidas.

Actually, I'm not sure that the anti-Williams backlash (if there was any) because of the Camaroon outfit would influence Serena's decision. If that were the case, she could probably point to the fact that there are soooooo many anti-Williams fans in the States.
